The Weakest Enemies from The Elder Scrolls Series

The Elder Scrolls games are epic and a contributing factor to said epicness(?) is the enemies that you encounter throughout Bethesda’s lovingly crafted worlds. However, it’s not all Giants, Daedra & Dragons. There is a lighter side to the enemies of Tamriel.

Join us as we look at the Weakest Enemies from The Elder Scrolls Series.

The article missed dragons in skyrim.

Dragon encounters are leveled with the player so you're always strong enough to fight them.

I only played on master difficulty and they never seemed like much of a threat.

GuyThatPlaysGames4116d ago

True. I think I'm only a level 45 and it only takes 2-3 arrows to drop a dragon. As far as weakest goes, it's definitely mudcrab, skeever and spider.

The elder scrolls series has never been about difficulty....they have always been about exploration not putting on your try hard pants gloating about how master difficulty is not a challenge.

brish4115d ago

Umm, what?

I experienced the following playing as a pure mage on master difficulty in skyrim.

Frost trolls were practically immortal until I leveled enough to do some serious damage. It took a while before I could hurt them faster than they could heal. For the longest time seeing a frost troll meant running away.

Bandit chefs were scary things to fight at level 10. They could use a power attack and one hit kill me on master.

Saber tooth tigers were things I ran from until I was about level 20. After 20 I could kill them but if they got close I was dead.

Giants were to avoid until I was about level 30.

Falmer had archers that could kill me with a single arrow until I was about level 40! After level 40 it took two hits so I had to play very cautiously when they were around.

Dragon Priests could easy kill me at level 50. It was a serious challenge to get a mask from them on master.

Dragons, no problem!

Elder scrolls was never difficult huh? Try playing oblivion and putting it on the highest difficulty. The rats will destroy you in the opening dungeon!

They were also the most annoying.

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot23d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator23d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin23d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai23d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis00722d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer22d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer22d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast38d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22938d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko38d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
